Samsung HW-C500
$649.00
Released May, 2010
The Pros:Displays multiple resolutions well without stretching the picture. One-button Automatic Sound Calibration runs itself without the user having to do anything. Twist-style connectors that also accept banana style connectors.
The Cons:Interface is tricky at first, no on-screen menu. Cannot use the 5.1 discreet audio inputs along with HDMI video input. There is no available DVD upscaling - just gets stretched to fit the screen.
The Samsung HW-C500 is one of two multi-channeled A/V receivers announced by Sony at CES 2010. Both models feature Samsung’s new Crystal Amplifier Pro technologies for enhanced audio quality; a certified iPhone/iPod dock; and an aesthetically pleasing design aimed at complementing their new Blu-ray disc players.
